    I'm not sure what's worse:
    That the DM thinks their readership is so stupid that they can print outright lies in their headline and contradict them two paragraphs down;
    or that the DM readership is so stupid that they don't notice the outright lies in the headline despite them being contradicted two paragraphs down

    Surely you don't want political correctness to stop us from calling a cretin a cretin.

    It's clear from this thread that you can't read or are not interested in reading.
    It's also clear that you can't write particularly well.
    Has the Daily Mail told you that you should not read beyond headlines or think for yourself and you have worshipfully believed them?

    And it's one paragraph in a long article that mainly focusses on Brexit and options for the regions, emphasising that trying to do separate deals for Scotland, Wales and NI is going to be extremely difficult.

    You'd almost think they were so desperate to find something to smear him with they, had to shoe horn it in at the start of an unrelated article in the hopes people wouldn't bother reading the rest of it.

    Corbyn did not say what you claimed he did, after you had swallowed your dose of Daily Mail nonsense. Still, useful additional confirmation that you're a cretin.

    You were mislead into believing that Corbyn actually said this - when he said no such thing. Please read beyond the headlines and make up your own mind.
